I miss the 2 lane highways; (would rather take those than the other)...the interstates are necessary, sometimes: still, I love the old roads !!

I miss those simple days.

Back for a revisit and posting on my community page for a little while for whatever good it may do. Happy Thanksgining Nashville! 👍🤠

Chattanooga was so clean back then. ❤❤❤

❤❤

I never heard the " road trip" until the movie Animal House came out . Every trip by car was called "trip " because only the rich went by plane or train .

The more things change.

Does bring back a lot of memories especially that big old glass ash tray. Wow. Strange what triggers nostalgic feelings.

Great music.

Maybe not a shit show but 68 was a rough year. MLK was assassinated, RFK was assassinated. Vietnam War. The Tet offensive in the Vietnam war. Riots in DC, Chicago, Baltimore and other cities. We are nostalgic. I was young then and I loved the time of my youth, but 68 was a rough year in US history.

In 1968, there were 1/3 as many people on this planet. 3 billion than, 9 billion now. That’s why there is no interstate traffic.

Places were their own deal at that time. Since, it's become like boiled rice - all the same. Nature matters, she's the great difference. Look after your local landscape.

This was fantastic, and I appreciate you posting it, but man I would pay good money for a similar film driving on the old highways through all the tiny towns which were even then starting to dry up.

Love this so much….real people driving real cars…wearing actual clothing and being nice to each other! Was only 3 in ‘68 but I remember it well….ready to go home tonight if possible….

well at least the cars were big beautiful and quality

No purple haired bloated fat freaks in this video.

I was able to follow the 1968 version through Google Maps from Atlanta all the way to Jasper, TN. Very cool!

I was just recently at an estate sale ,and the day before everything that was left was to be hauled off, I found an old tape recorder and gobs of old tape reels ! I woudnt have had money do anything with itand didnt have the storage space so I left it , man I wish now i had taken that!! It was still in the case and in great condition!

What would it have hurt to allow people to buy the pillars? I swear, far too many people in the property development business are just plain dick heads.

Were Dodges good back then? They sure as hell aren't now.

😔

Traffic was great back then. Today I hate going to Nashville now.

i always wondered why the road in fairview is called drag strip road. guess know i know.

Back when government was smaller life was better. Now with bigger government with bloated bureaucracies the country gone down the toilet.

They traveled old highway 41 in TN. Wonder why they didn't use I24? Anyway, it was a lovely trip. Really enjoyed when they were going across Lookout Mtn. Wish they had continued through Jasper, though. They warped from east of Jasper right into Nashville :D

5:34 On Clarksville Pike, just north of Bordeaux. An abandoned Old Hickory Credit Union branch is now located less than 100 yards south of this former building. I remember the build from my childhood. Before it closed down it had been turned into a night club.

I fondly remember Stuckey's

Part of me misses the old Nashville, but I'd rather Nashville be what it is today than what cities like Birmingham and Memphis have become. There was a time when both of those cities sat higher in the pecking order than Nashville, and now they're trying to find a way to breathe some life back into themselves.

Memories of Nashville Tennessee, cool video keep up the amazing work

Great times!! Right before it all changed for the worst.

I remember driving from Chattanooga to Nashville one night because a friend of mine told me that he had never seen the grand old Opry i remember we just drove right up in front of the Ryman and walked right up on the front steps not a single person in sight That was when Nashville was Nashville not Hollywood unfortunately those days are gone forever

Not 1965, at 1:24 a blue 1967 Chevrolet is in the background also shortly after a 1968 Chevrolet passes. In that time period new car models came out in the fall of each year, so filming took place no sooner than the fall of '67. 👍🤠

👍🤠

2024 sucks!

Honestly shocking how well maintained the roads are. I drive this stretch pretty regular and it's like a washboard in parts

Born raised in Nashville Tennessee Westside love it thanks for the memories

Remember those days, wouldn't trade my Era for anything 👍

i hate i was born too late

😢 how can i miss sething i wasn't even around for 😂😂😂

Pass the buscuits and the ash tray paw! Love it! I was 4 in '68 growing up in Memphis (Frayser)!

Yes the good ole days. Those were the good times.😃😃

Boring.

Is it possible to feel nostalgia for a time you never lived?

@4:41, I remember Stuckey's, great place to eat and their pecan pies were the best. @6:46, look at the cute brunette, slender, elegantly dress, very pretty and classy. That is my kind of woman but I was just a little kid back then.

👍🤠

I was a boy of 9 years old living in Trailways Trailer Park in Goodlettsville at the time.

the cars, what I wouldn't give to go back for a vacation

This was a lot of fun to watch,

I wonder what car they where driving in???

Thats absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing this with us. I hope you find someone whod truly value this as family history.
